Roots and Wings Distillery

The farm on 240 Street has been in the Rindt family for three generations, first growing produce, then sod. In 2015 Rob Rindt and Rebekah Crowley set out to turn some of what grew there into spirits. The tasting room opened in February 2017, in a converted rental trailer. Tourism Langley and the Circle Farm Tour call it Langley’s first craft distillery. A Langley Advance profile at the time said Crowley may have been the first female distiller in the Lower Mainland.

Who owns it

It’s a couple’s business on a family farm. Rob Rindt grew up in Langley in a farming family, and is always looking for new ways to use the land; he does the growing, the heavy lifting and the building. Rebekah Crowley moved to Langley to be with him and became the distiller. In the Langley Advance Times’ 2017 piece, they described harvesting the first potatoes by hand because there wasn’t money yet for equipment. Farm Credit Canada financed the distillery and the trailer that became the first tasting room.

You’ll see different founding years in different places. Tourism Langley says 2015, and the distillery’s own site shows both 2016 and 2017. The short version: the business started in 2015, and the tasting room opened in 2017.

Seed to sip

The pitch is that the base of the spirits is grown on the property. Vodka starts from the farm’s potatoes and the whiskies from its corn, and the farm has its own natural spring water. The range is wide for a small place: several vodkas (including dill, horseradish and garlic flavours), three gins, a handful of whiskies including a bourbon-style one, an absinthe, and blueberry, hazelnut and walnut liqueurs. New this year is Soju Eh!, a ready-to-drink soju made and canned on the farm.

Things to do there

The tasting room, called The Drinkery, has more than 50 spirits and cocktail flights. There’s a gift shop, the Vintage Bar Shop. From May to October, the Willows Picnic Area is open outside, weather permitting. Live music plays every Friday: outside on the Railcar Stage from May to September, then in the Root Cellar Lounge through fall and winter. The farm also runs craft nights, a wreath-making class and an annual Holiday Sip N’ Shop market (the 6th one is on November 28, 2026). It hosts weddings and private events for up to 200.

Awards and recognition

We didn’t find any competition medals on record. Tourism Langley and the Circle Farm Tour guide recognize it as Langley’s first craft distillery, and it’s a stop on the 2026 Langley Circle Farm Tour.
